New to me
I found these lovey, heavy, blingy buttons in a grab bag of vintage sewing notions at the thrift store the other day:
These beauties just came to me via a swap called Grandma's Attic Matchbox swap:
And, look at this adorable, tiny tin (it's about the size of a nickel) that held more buttons:
Have you found any buttons this week? Do tell!

I haven't been anywhere to hunt for buttons but I did play in a couple
jars today.. I made a doll for a customer and had to find wooden buttons for eyes and four for buttons to overall straps ( front and back ).so trying to find two small ( two hole ) buttons for eyes and four for overall straps took some time but I enjoy " playing in buttons ).

I found several jars of buttons last week. Spent a few hours playing with them at the weekend! I was a very lucky girl because in amongst them I found some gorgeous blue glass Bimini (Orplid) buttons. I have posted an article about them on my blog here - http://vintage-jane.blogspot.com/2011/08/bimini-orplid.html M x
I am a newbie and it's so nice to see others that love buttons as much as I do!!!

I love the heavy metal buttons.
I have some from years ago that i got at an auction
Theres nothing better than finding a great old button LOL
Do you have that book on old vintage buttons? Antique & collectable Buttons .
I have loved buttons since i was very young
Oh wow, what gorgeous buttons! You were really lucky to find those!
As a Follower, and a new one at that, I am not certain if I may make comments. But I am anyway.
The glitzy buttons in the first picture look very similar to decorative buttons on my wedding dress. It was an off-the-rack white jacquard weave cotton late-1960's cocktail dress.
Oh Linda -- of course we want your comments! It's great to have you here!
I received a large package of button the other day from my cousin. They were truly beautiful. But then, what button isn't a treasure. Your find of button treasures reminds me of some I discovered in the package - heavy and jeweled. They're so amazing! I'm going to use them at Art and Soul in Portland, OR on one of my Shabby Chic Birds.
Wow! Those are beautiful! Now I don't feel so weird about keeping buttons:) I thought it was just some strange notion that I had, but now I know I'm not the only one out there with a button obsession!
great post! i really love making things with buttons and other pieces like that!

Megan -- you are definitely NOT alone! We are all button mad here!
